## Resource

Bishop Michael Router is set to be installed this Sunday at St Eugene’s Cathedral, stepping into a new chapter after a surprise appointment in July. Though initially nervous about the transition, he’s been deeply moved by the warm welcome from clergy and parishioners across the expansive Diocese of Derry — which stretches into Donegal, County Derry, and North Tyrone. Having spent seven years as an auxiliary bishop in Armagh, he brings valuable experience to this role, eager to tackle challenges like secularization and declining clergy numbers with a renewed missionary spirit and greater lay involvement. For now, he’s focused on building connections and embracing the vibrant community he’s already found. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
